The idea of concentrated poverty has long held a prominent place inunderstandings of racial and class inequalities in American cities. While thespatial concentration of the poor in undoubtedly an important aspect of thestory around urban inequality, concentrated poverty research suffers froma number of shortcomings that limit its usefulness in understanding themultifaceted nature of inequality today. Drawing on work on both criticalGIS and relational socio-spatial theory, this paper attempts to visualize howareas of concentrated poverty are not the isolated spaces they are oftenmade out to be, but are rather fundamentally interconnected with and coproducedby areas of concentrated affluence that are otherwise quitedistant and apart from the experience of poverty.
